  1. So far behind the tech curve, I find myself being forced to build another "gaming" box. FFS< I remember playing this shit on a W2K machine.
  2. Late to comment, but one Big Sandy at a post shoot campfire, we had a trio of very nice Brit shooters announce that "Oh after this we are going to spend tomorrow driving through Texas. (From basically Kingman, Arizona). Yeah, there was a moment of silence. "Y'all are not serious, Raight?" (Asked the obvious Texan). They were. They thought they could leave the shoot, drive through 2/3 of Arizona, all of New Mexico, and sightsee Texas, In a day. It actually took a couple hours to convince them that "No we are not fucking with you, unless you magically rent a B57, and say "fuck the fuel" ,it ain't happening".
  3. Just a note for those who deal with them. Look out for new 5000 pound torsion bar Dexter axles, being shipped 2017/2018 with no grease in the bearings. At most, they had the shipping oil used to keep the bearing/race from rusting in storage. This is the third towable lift in a few months I've dealt with, that had absolutely fried bearings, with zero signs of lube in them. The last one, had a whopping 15 hours of operation on the clock before the bearing shit the bed.
  4. It's that the dumb fucks proposing such action have as poor an understanding on how the military would behave, as they do comprehending the Constitution and Bill Of Rights. We are witnessing a time when elected officials are more ignorant of the nation's charter than the citizenry, and such willful ignorance is almost a requirement for employment.
  5. Rep. Eric Swalwell , is a fucking moron. The only thing that needs background checks and mental health exams (open to public scrutiny) are congresscritters.
  6. I made a 4D gun once. It killed Hitler, in 1945.
  7. May as well round up all the machinists. Shit like this gets passed, I am setting up production, MkII STENS , everywhere.
  8. Maybe they should not be doing drive by's in south-central Phoenix. "Choot em in the fase, ese" is the rule of thumb there.
  9. It's all the associated expense and bullshit getting a case heard, after you have been convicted by the NYS courts of precrime/ not keeping a positive social media presence. The fix is, making the prosecutors and officers involved personally liable in cases involving the infringement of civil rights. You jackboot all over some guy and the USSC (eventually) says you're a douche-canoe? It's not the taxpayers paying the guy, it's YOU.
  10. Now apply that idea to other supposedly "guaranteed rights" and see how it tastes. People who come up with, and those who promote this kind of bullshit are the lowest kind of vermin, and should be treated as such.
  11. What that waterhead mongoloid jizzguzzling shitnozzle wrote is the acme of patent stupidity.
  12. Military-Grade Night Vision Gear Is Widely Available To Civilians — And That’s A Problem https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/night-vision-gear_us_59f38cf2e4b03cd20b8196bf
  13. In (semi) defense, I used to know an armed guard who carried a K frame S&W in .32-20. Famous for drilling an armed robber across a (large) bank lobby, between the eyes, single action. He drew, thumbed back the hammer, and punched the guy's ticket. Now, chances are you see some goof with a SAA, he's a poser. But in some places, he may be just challenging himself. I know one guy who CC's a cap& ball Remington, I'd not want to fuck with, at anything under 50 yards. (Preferably at 1000+ yards, so I can use a BREN).
  14. There is an infographic somewhere showing that the U.S. Navy is the second largest airforce in the world. Fucking with a CBG is a sure way to get large volumes of poop, shoved in.
  15. That's a bit disturbing. Not the helo. Who's wrenching on it.
  16. There was some dicking about with "casemate light tanks" pre M2 Light, why I referenced Hunnicutt's "Stuart". They were all failures for obvious reasons.
  17. Same. Have to be at work at 0730, still wake at 0445 because it hurts too much to stay in bed...
  18. And the Hetzer was an ergonomic nightmare. I've been in one, they are fucking ridiculous.
  19. You only regret not selling it to MEEEEEEEEEE! FFS, I wanted to make an "Air Service Rifle" from one of those with a L4 LMG mag.. But most of the ones I came across were just shit. (And by "shit" , I mean "Would not feed a single round, were grossly out of headspace, would reliably unlock the bolt upon firing, or could not hit a flock of barns from inside one of them..)
  20. And..You sold it? W.what. Were you HIGH!? I managed to get one of the junkers to feed from a 30 round L4 magazine.... Why!?
  21. Well, a lot of the early imports of the Ishapores were abject garbage. I dealt with at least eight that were basically force-matched junk.
